Focused seabird colony searches of Puuhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park
Waddington JS. 2005. Focused seabird colony searches of Puuhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park. Inventory and Monitoring Program, Pacific Island Network. Hawaii National Park, HI
The objective of this inventory was to document seabird species within PUHO. The surveys focused on the cliffs above Alahuka and Kii-lea bays located in the southern half of the park, and Keanaee Cliffs located in the center of the park. One morning survey and one evening survey were conducted weekly for eight consecutive weeks. The surveys also provided the opportunity to possibly detect Band-rumped Storm-Petrels as they fly to suspected nesting areas at higher elevations of the western flank of Mauna Loa (outside of PUHO park boundaries). Ten great frigatebirds were observed during the 27th July sunset survey. No other seabirds were detected during the study.
